11 men and one salt ridden Dukie headed out in false spring temps to catch a beating for more than 0.4 seconds.

WARM UP

Mosey up to Union to First Prez parking lot for the immaculate warmup: 20 SSH, 10 Hillbilly, 10 Loose Change, Arm Circles

Mosey to the corner of Union and Franklin for

DAT THANG

Use Franklin Ave as the conduit for a beating.  Start At Franklin with 10 hand release merkins, mosey down to Spring and do 15 reverse crunches in honor of salty Lex, then back to Union for the 10 HRMS.  Then down to Beech for 20 CAROLINA Dry Docks, stopping along the way for the 15 reverse crunches, and then run all the way back up the hill to Union.  Then mosey down to Georgia,  adding reps of the previous along the way, for 25 squats, then all the way back.  Finally head down to Crowell, adding reps along the way, for 30 LBCs, then all the way back to

MARY

Hold plank, then 15 low flutter IC and 10 rope pulls each side.  Then lame ass broga.

COT

Prayers for Ruthie and all the O’Brien family.  Prayers for Deb and Cat as they await CT scan results.  Prayers for the McGlamery family as their mother is in the ICU.  Praises for Indy’s daughter to got into vet school at NCSU, very prestigious.

MOLESKIN

Go Heels Go America.  I tried to not lay it on super thick this morning and then Lex came out guns blazing about a Duke basketball team that routinely gets the shaft from the referees.  Nevertheless, all pax held their nerve and crushed out 2.7 miles and a bunch of reps, FNG hung in strong.  Lots of hills to keep us sharp for Land O Lakes.  17 days from now, you are where you are at this point.  Ozempic won’t help you.

We’ve had a lot of pain and heartache in our Pax with suffering over the past few months, but that’s when you see the best of us.  Concord may be the black sheep, but we know how to stick with our flock.  No matter how much junk we talk, who we root for, or where we get our Mexican food, we’ve got each other back whether through breakups, races, sickness, whatever may come, I’m glad I got my boys who got my back.  Too many men ain’t got the backup, but we do.  People who are willing to get up at 5 AM to bust a gut are just made of stronger steel, and it takes a hell of a lot of heat to melt steel.
